Hendrick Hospice Care has earned Level Three status in the “We Honor Veterans” campaign, which provides recognition to organizations that demonstrate a commitment to improving end-of-life care for veterans.

The nation is seeing many of the veterans who served during World War II and the Korean War die, with the number of deaths of Vietnam veterans on the rise, according to Hendrick Hospice.

“We are very proud to have accomplished Level Three in the We Honor Veterans program sponsored by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization,” said Melissa Montes Luton, community outreach manager for Hendrick Hospice Care. “The relationship we have built with the Veterans Administration has been very beneficial for our agency, patients and families.”

Hendrick Hospice Care met stringent requirements to achieve the distinction, according to a statement, making improvements in the way both paid and unpaid staff provide care.
